Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and to all the moms out there as they navigate cultures/generations/traumas/losses (and joys too!)
Old comic for @nytimes

A follow up to the original Grief Butter comic.
It’s been a year since our friend Steve passed away. We miss him, and the grief is still there. We’ve folded new joys into our life, though it’s always a little sad he’s not here to share them with us. But, hey, we can hold both joy and sadness at the same time. We can feel complicated about it. That’s A-Okay.

Wonderful to introduce @ohtruth author/illustrator of her graphic memoir UPROOTED to students at @ps95bronx! So great that every 4th and 5th grader had the opportunity to hear Ruth present and to speak with her during the book signing!
The school librarian wrote, “Thank you again for today! Everyone enjoyed every minute. I was getting compliments all day!

HAVE YOU SEEN AXEL? Comes out today! Axel the Axolotl has been hiding around my house (can you find her?) but is finally ready for her debut!
NYC! Axel and I will be at @booksaremagicbk (Montague location) this Sat Oct 24 at 11am. Come find us! There will be stickers! Otherwise the book is available wherever books are sold.
And for #btsarmy, there’s a few special things in there for you 💜
The perfect companion to HAVE YOU SEEN GORDON?, it’s @adamjayepstein and my second book together. So grateful to get to work with him and @simonkids on this.

An old comic from 2022 for @nytimes in honor of today, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. There are so many of us who have experienced loss, and it’s important to talk about it, I think.
I do love avocados again 🥑

Have You Seen Axel? is hilarious. A fun twist for a seek-and-find book. Young readers will be coming ear-to-ear throughout the whole book!

NYC! Come to storytime for my and @adamjayepstein ‘s new book HAVE YOU SEEN AXEL? At @booksaremagicbk (Montague location) on Sat Oct 24 at 11am!
There will be laughs! There will be stickers! And if you wanna come in costume to practice for Halloween, sure!

Never made a complicated reel before and clearly “I got no jams”. But for #bts and for #btsarmy, I will try anything! 🫰🏽🫶🏼
My new book with @adamjayepstein is coming out Oct 20, and I’ve hidden a few BTS Easter eggs for ARMY Can you find them all? 👀
Preorder today anywhere books are sold! (Preorders are super important for the book and for us book creators as it signals to publishers and the world how much the book speaks to people!)
Also, if anyone wants to talk about BTS or has questions about BTS in my books, please comment and you KNOW I am all up in that 😉😅
💜 BORAHAE and happy reading! 💜
